Abstract

I began this project with a goal to determine how I could help my at-risk students become more engaged in learning. Research encourages teachers to use relevant pedagogical tools to engage students. While I agree with that conclusion, I felt it was still too broad to be effective. My project helped narrow the conclusion to specific tools teachers can use and what they looked like with a specific population of students. I researched the effects of writer’s notebooks and service learning for at- risk high school student to see if the level of academic engagement, individual success and self-esteem would increase among students.
